* ''VideoGame/{{Darwinia}}'': There are multiple opening sequences, playing a different one each time the game is loaded. These include things like a faux-UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum LoadingScreen and one that passes the game off as a cracked UsefulNotes/Amiga game.

* ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'': The UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor version has three title screens, which one is shown is random.

* The UsefulNotes/LaserDisc Database at [[https://www.lddb.com/ lddb.com]] will show a random message in the top bar every time you load the page. They contain some [=LaserDisc=]-themed [[ShoutOut Shout-Outs]] as well.

* ''Platform/WiiU'': The player's UsefulNotes/{{Mii}} does a different pose every time you return to the main menu.

* In UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}: The background for games in your library will change randomly between your screenshots of the game. If you have no screenshots, a selection of pre-set pictures is provided by Steam.
* ''UsefulNotes/WiiU'': The player's UsefulNotes/{{Mii}} does a different pose every time you return to the main menu.

** The title screen for ''VideoGame/WarioWareMoveIt'' has one of 19 characters in the game yell "[=WarioWare=]!" every time the title screen is accessed. Most of these voice clips are reused from the alarm clock function in ''VideoGame/WarioWareGold''.

* ''[[VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice Sam & Max Save the World]] (A.K.A. ''Sam & Max Season 1'') : Title sequences end with the duo making some kind of gesture (high-five, "right back atcha", etc.) In the season finale, the sequence ends with Max pointing upward and the car flies to the moon. Then the following seasons use [[MythologyGag the couch gag from the comics]] (as mentioned on the CouchGag/ComicBooks page).

* ''VideoGame/WarioWareIncMegaPartyGames'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BX3V3hgIrM several startup screens]], with things ranging from a 3D model of Wario riding his CoolBike, to a mob of hands running past a button, to a magnet pulling in a bunch of random objects, to synchronized [[RunningGag nose picking]]. The only thing most of them have in common is [[QuirkyWork weirdness]].

%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3'':

* ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'': On an initial playthrough, the main menu is an exterior shot of Nico's van sitting inside of Nero's garage. In a NewGamePlus, the camera moves ''inside'' the van, where a number of the game's characters are sitting around, performing a randomized set of actions.

*** There is one message hidden in the files that reads: "This message will never appear on the splash screen, isn't that weird?" Indeed it won't, as even modifying the splashes.txt file to contain that line will crash the game.

* ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'': The 2020 remake of the game features a random member of the game's main cast saying the game title upon bootup.

* ''VideoGame/WarioWareIncMegaPartyGames'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BX3V3hgIrM several startup screens]], with things ranging from a 3D model of Wario riding his CoolBike, to a mob of hands running past a button, to a magnet pulling in a bunch of random objects, to synchronized [[RunningGag nose picking]]. The only thing most of them have in common is [[WidgetSeries weirdness]].

* ''VideoGame/MarioParty'': In the first game, the title screen changes depending on which character wins the board.
** Similarly in ''Mario Party Superstars'', the title screen and theme changes based on which board was last played.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker2''
** The game starts with one of seven randomly-chosen startup screens. You either get Mario, three Galoombas, Bowser, or Mario, Toad, and Toadette walking across the screen and jumping into the logo. Further animations were added in updates; they include Mario, Toad, and Toadette chasing after Luigi to get a key (version 1.1.0), Mario avoiding a Spike and Pokey and finding the Master Sword in its pedestal (2.0.0, where all of these course elements were introduced), and Mario escorting Peach on a Yoshi, only for her to be kidnapped by the Koopalings (3.0.0). This contrasts with [[VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker the first game]], in which each startup screen is preset according to the day of the week.
** After the animation, the title screen has your selected character in one of ten different levels. You can play in them or even go straight to editing.
* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''

** Similarly in ''VideoGame/MarioPartySuperstars'', the title screen and theme changes based on which board was last played.

* ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle'' opens with two random characters flanking the title, who then read out the name with [[Main/SurprisinglyGoodEnglish varying levels]] [[Main/{{Engrish}} of fluency.]] The 2.0 patch for the game ups this to four characters (but only two characters still speak) and even gives the player the option to excise the Engrish from the readings.

* ''VideoGame/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale'' doesn't have a randomized title screen, but rather randomized ''menus''. When you proceed from the title screen to the main menu, you're greeted with one of the twenty base-game fighters on the right side of the screen, with the background and menu options being specific to what character you pull; for example, Parappa's background is bright yellow and has disco lights. Whatever character is selected, the game's menus will follow their theme until the next time you boot up the game.
